Jackson, Mississippi
An Artistic Soirée of Support
Benefiting Friends of Children’s Hospital
Join us on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the home of Christie and George Walker for An Evening With Friends Presented by Trustmark — an evening of art, community, and generosity in support of Children’s of Mississippi, the state’s only children’s hospital.
Guests will enjoy a curated art auction featuring regional artists, along with an evening of hospitality and connection as we celebrate the donors, sponsors, artists, and friends who make this work possible.
Attendance is reserved for event sponsors and hosts. To join us, select the “Become a Sponsor or Host” tab above to view opportunities and register online.
Proceeds benefit Friends of Children’s Hospital and help fund programs, services, and resources that elevate the healthcare experience for children and families across Mississippi. From providing comfort and moments of normalcy to meeting the unique needs of pediatric patients, your generosity helps make the hospital experience brighter for the children we serve.
We hope you’ll join us for a meaningful evening in support of Mississippi’s children.
